The school is attached to the church and houses the original eight classrooms, plus a large kindergarten room, a reading room, offices and a cafeteria. In 1997 an addition to the school created a new library, science lab, computer room and an additional classroom. These rooms have greatly enhanced our programs. The former church was renovated into our new Social Center/Gym. Future plans call for the addition of a stage and a new kitchen for the Social Center/Gym.
We have 191 students consisting of 131 families in Kindergarten through Grade 8.
Busing is available through the City of Albany and other local public school districts to students in K-8 who meet the distance criteria.
